WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A BUNNY FIGHTS BACK?
In a post-apocalyptic world where humans are extinct and animals thrive, a young rabbit starts to wonder why rabbits must accept their status as prey animals. She asks pointed questions of the warren elders, and gets exiled for it.
Without a warren, she's enormously vulnerable, but she reaches out to others in desperate straits. Soon, she's locked in a ferocious battle for survival-and maybe even freedom.
Part naturalistic adventure, part modern-day fable, War Bunny is a fast-paced story about friendship, honor, standing up for yourself, and coming of age.
A great adventure read for teens and adults! (Fantasy, 13+)
Summerday, Book 2 of the War Bunny Chronicles, is available now.
City of Oom, Book 3 of the War Bunny Chronicles, is available now.
Book 4 of the War Bunny Chronicles is in development.
Audiobook for War Bunny is currently in production.

-KIRKUS REVIEWS
"A bunny decides she's had enough and dares to shake up the natural order in St. John's unusual and thought-provoking post-apocalyptic debut. ... Takeaway: This post-apocalyptic rabbit tale of daring to question society is tougher and more creative than most animal fiction. Great for fans of Richard Adams's Watership Down and David Petersen's Mouse Guard."
-BOOKLIFE BY PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
"War Bunny is George Orwell's Animal Farm for a new generation."
-INDIE READER
"War Bunny is a spectacular fantasy novel. It is a beautiful story that wraps you in its embrace and does not let go. A must-read for animal lovers. Adventurous and family-friendly ... the deeper story in it mirrors modern society."
-READER VIEWS, 5 STARS
"A fable for all ages ... a spellbinding must-read ... a gripping story of survival ... I thoroughly recommend it."
-READERS' FAVORITE, 5 STARS
"Humor is a key strength, developed through slick dialogue and character development. For example, Love Bug, an amorous buck, welcomes new does to the warren with charming one-liners, and Dingus, an entrepreneurial squirrel, opens a hotel to accommodate visitors keen to see the rabbit that bested a fox."
-BLUE INK REVIEW
"War Bunny is a post-apocalyptic fantasy novel in which everyone has value and is worth fighting for ... The book's ultimate message is one of hope."
